Claudio Lopez compilation

Claudio Lopez officially joined the Kansas City Wizards earlier this week. It's been a couple of years now that he's been gone from Club America but I found some highlights of some of the goals he scored with America.

In total, he scored 4 goals in his first season, then went on to post 14, 3, 2 and 4 goals in successive seasons. Each season, incidentally is roughly 20 games. His full bio that shows his complete stats with America is here.

Anyway, here are the clips.

* Claudio Lopez sends a bicycle kick into the back of the net here.

* Note the three current MLS players in this clip. Duilio Davino sends the cross in from the right flank, Lopez finishes and Cuauhtemoc Blanco goes in and celebrates with his teammates.

* A playoff goal at Estadio Jalisco against Atlas in 2006. Kinda quiet.
